The Last Airbender Doesn't Need the Super Bowl to Release Its Super Bowl Spot

airbender_brief.jpgBack in the day, you’d have to actually watch the Super Bowl to see its buzzed-about ads, but eventually, YouTube made that need moot. Now, movie studios are doing us the service of releasing their vaunted Super Bowl spots ahead of time — hence this brief ad for M. Night Shyamalan’s The Last Airbender. You can glimpse some good effects work and what looks like some well-executed large-scale action, but I can’t help but be disappointed that it doesn’t include what a recent AICN test screening review described as a scene where “a certain baddy punches a fish to death.” Gotta save something for the full trailer, I suppose.

You said moot!
